Dig It - 12/18/25

Well Seekers, time to get back to the Good Stuff, or I should say Great Stuff, in the world of early Navajo jewelry. This is a Classic period bracelet, 1890s to 1910, maybe a little later, but Classic. It was made just with a file and end-of-file stamping. The bezel is handmade and fairly thick, like most of the early non-commercial bezels. Now I know in the photo the stone looks really cracked. It is cracked, but remember that in the photo the bracelet is blown up to three times its real size. In real life it is not very noticeable; in fact, it is hardly visible from a few feet away. The stone is also a stronger blue than in the photo. As I said, this is a classic, and It Is For Sale! Yes, you can own this beautiful bracelet and make all the hoi polloi envious! It fits a fairly small wrist, so if you’ve got one, get it now. I don’t think it will last long. See you down the trail. Lonesome
